The track, produced by Mark ''Mark Hize'' Collinder and Garfield ''Konshens'' Spence for Subkonshus Music, has an up tempo vibe that compliments Lil Jon's energetic hip hop style.

Upon his return from a successful European tour, Konshens stated "I could not refuse the opportunity to have Lil Jon, the crump king, featured on one of my tracks. The Big and Sexy song already brought a vibe to the dance but with Lil Jon added to it gives the song another fire". Lil Jon, known for producing many hits such as 'YEAH' by Usher and 'Get Low' Remix featuring Elephant Man and Busta Rhymes among others, has always been a supporter and lover of the Jamaican culture.

"This song is crazy, I had to take the opportunity to jump on the track and the rest is history, just press play and you will feel the energy Konshens and I created" says Lil Jon.

"I just want to say thank to everyone in the US and Jamaica who donated to my book drive for the students of Kololo Senior Secondary in Uganda, I appreciate it and I know the students will too" says Konshens.

Statement From Adidja Palmer On Introduction Of His Book Into Ivy League Schools

I AM NOT SURPRISED THAT THE BOOK HAS MADE IT TO THESE PRESTIGIOUS ESTABLISHMENTS OF HIGHER LEARNING. I IN FACT TOLD MICHAEL THAT IT WOULD GRACE THE SHELVES OF "FARIN" SCHOOLS LONG BEFORE JAMAICA'S EDUCATION SYSTEM EVEN LOOKED AT IT.

SUFFICE TO SAY THE UPPER ECHELONS OF JAMAICAN SOCIETY DISREGARDED THE BOOK EVEN BEFORE READING IT, INDICATIVE OF THE SUBJECTIVE STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAT EXISTS WITHIN OUR SHORES.

COMPARATIVELY THOUGH, ONE ALSO HAS TO REMEMBER THAT MARCUS GARVEY, ONE OF THE GREATEST INTELLECTUAL MINDS OF THE 20th CENTURY HAD GARNERED IMMENSE RESPECT AND POWER ABROAD YEARS BEFORE HE WAS EVEN "LOOKED AT" IN JAMAICA AND I UNDOUBTEDLY THINK THAT I AM NO DIFFERENT IN THIS ASPECT.

HOWEVER THE BOOK IS NOW IN THE POSSESSION OF TRUE INTELLECTUALS WHO APPRECIATE WHAT MICHAEL AND I HAVE DONE TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE REAL ISSUES AFFECTING POST COLONIAL JAMAICA. 

FINALLY I HAVE TO SAY "RESPECT" TO THE (very) FEW JAMAICAN SUPPORTERS OF "THE VOICE" NOTABLY PROFESSOR CAROLYN COOPER AND PROFESSOR LOUIS MOYSTON, ALSO TO MY COMMON LAW WIFE TANESHA "SHORTY" JOHNSON FOR HER WELL NEEDED SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT. THANK YOU. P.S. the preceding statement was Adidja Palmer. Now the controversial Vybz Kartel would like to add that " If a fassy nuh like mi...."
